Well this is the second cigar from some buds who “commissioned” a cigar from a group of veterans who roll cigars at parties and weddings. But NJ isn’t Ybor City. To their credit, this isn’t a dog rocket, but it’s not very interesting either. I will say it is well constructed. The burn line is perfect, the draw, while a bit too open, is fine. Bit of coffee, but I wouldn’t call it “espresso”, I’d call it wet coffee grinds. Little pepper on the retrohale. But what the heck? People hire them to watch them roll cigars, which they do well. I wouldn’t buy a box, though. Fun smoke because my buds and their custom label. I’m enjoying it well enough.
